Ingredients

• Cauliflower – 1 head, chopped
• Carrots – 3 medium, sliced
• Zucchini – 2 medium, diced
• Spinach – 4 cups fresh leaves
• Cooked sweet potato – 1 cup, mashed
• Bone broth alternative – 4 cups vegetable broth (homemade or low-sodium)
• Fresh ginger – 1-inch piece, grated
• Turmeric powder – 1 teaspoon
• Garlic – 2 cloves, minced (optional, depending on tolerance)
• Coconut oil – 2 tablespoons
• Himalayan pink salt – to taste
• Fresh parsley – 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish)
• Lemon juice – 1 tablespoon (freshly squeezed)

Equipment

• Large soup pot or Dutch oven
• Cutting board and knife
• Vegetable peeler
• Measuring spoons and cups
• Blender or immersion blender
• Wooden spoon or spatula
• Serving bowls

Instructions

1. Prepare your vegetables: Wash and chop the cauliflower, carrots, zucchini, and spinach. Peel and slice the sweet potato into cubes, then steam or boil until soft and mashable.
2. Sauté aromatics: Heat the coconut oil in your soup pot over medium heat. Add the minced garlic (if using) and grated ginger, stirring for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
3. Add vegetables: Toss in the chopped cauliflower, carrots, and zucchini. Stir for 3-5 minutes to slightly soften the veggies and blend the flavors.
4. Pour in broth and spices: Add the vegetable broth, turmeric powder, and a pinch of Himalayan pink salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
5. Blend the soup: Remove the pot from heat. Using an immersion blender or regular blender, carefully puree the soup until smooth and creamy. For a chunkier texture, blend only half the soup.
6. Add mashed sweet potato and spinach: Stir in the mashed sweet potato and fresh spinach leaves. Return the pot to low heat and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the spinach wilts.
7. Finish and serve: Stir in fresh lemon juice for brightness. Adjust seasoning with more salt if needed. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley.

Tips & Variations

“Feel free to swap out vegetables based on what’s in season or what you tolerate best. Butternut squash or pumpkin puree can add sweetness and richness.

For more protein, add cooked lentils or hemp seeds if your diet allows.”

You can also transform this soup into a hearty stew by adding diced cooked potatoes or root vegetables. If you miss a creamy texture, a splash of coconut cream or homemade cashew cream (if tolerated) works beautifully.

For added flavor, experiment with fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, or basil. Remember to avoid nightshades like tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant, which can be inflammatory for many autoimmune conditions.
